It is an apt time to come out with the title of the film. On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, the news that trickled out is ..Raksha Bandhan will go on sets in mid 2021 and Akshay Kumar will be teaming with Anand L Rai and obviously will be based on the bond that siblings share. The film is slated for November 5, 2021 release. Written by Himanshu Sharma and produced by Colour Yellow Productions in association with Cape Of Good Films, the film is the second collaboration between Aanand and Akshay after Atrangi Re.
The film is being presented by his sister Alka Hiranandani. Akshay loved the subject and agreed to come on board right after the first narration. It’s a light-hearted family comedy, that falls right in the Akshay Kumar zone of filmmaking too,” says a source in a media release. It is written by the writer duo of Siddharth-Garima. The film will be produced by Aanand L Rai under his banner, however, we still await clarity on whether the filmmaker is directing it himself or does it mark the debut of Siddharth – Garima. Apart from Raksha Bandhan, other Akshay Kumar films slated for a big-screen release include – Sooryavanshi, Bachchan Pandey, Bell Bottom, Atrangi Re, Prithviraj and his yet-untitled film with Ekta Kapoor.
